EXECUTIVE SERVICES
Get hands-on help with your board or fundraising.
Need to orient new board members, build a fundraising plan, or get experienced help running a campaign? You can hire Coach House for a specific project or for ongoing support. Executive Services are available separately from the Accelerator.
Your organization can pay for the work directly or use a capacity-building grant from a foundation to cover all or part of the cost. Either way, you choose what to work on. We’ll agree on the scope, timeline, and fee before work begins.
If you’re seeking grant funding, we can provide a written scope and cost to share with your funder.
BOARD DEVELOPMENT
Give your board clear responsibilities and practical ways to contribute.
We can help you:
- Assess how your board works and agree on what to improve.
- Clarify the roles of board members, officers, committees, and executive staff.
- Recruit and orient new members and train your current board.
- Improve meeting practices, update governance documents, and follow through on decisions.
- Prepare board members to participate in fundraising.
Bring us a specific project, such as creating a board orientation process, or work with us over time on board development and coordination.
FUNDRAISING STRATEGY AND IMPLEMENTATION
Build a practical fundraising strategy and implement it.
We can help you:
- Clarify what you need to raise and make a compelling case for support.
- Identify and prioritize prospective donors and funding opportunities.
- Plan how to build donor relationships, ask for support, and follow up.
- Prepare staff and board members for donor conversations.
- Set up donor tracking and clarify who is responsible for each next step.
- Work alongside your team to carry out a campaign or other fundraising activities.
